Things are really starting to pop. Not quite at peak yet, but getting there fast. Been having to water, so very hot.

    Green Rainbow has not had the pretty flowers I am used to, does not care for the heat I guess. Neither do i


    Whip City Sweet Honey Bee, large flowers on short scapes


    Parrots of the Caribbean, another pretty flower on consistently short scapes


    Get Jiggy's 1st flowers this year


    Thundercat, not exactly a clump


    Crazy Ivan


    Jamaican Love has almost outgrown its space


    Spacecoast Francis Busby


    Evening Enchantment is late to bloom this year


    Skipjack, has mostly short scapes, if only more would grow taller


    Fiesta Latina


    Rapid Eye Movement

    Jamaican Love has really multiplied for you! I always like Parrots of the Caribbean. Do you have some soaker hoses in your beds? I have one in a seedling bed, and bought two earlier this week, but it's just been too hot to put them down. I plan to install them on Saturday, the cooler day, if anything is still alive by then. I think Crazy Ivan is my favorite of your clumps. SC Francis Busby and Evening Enchantment look great too!

    The heat is oppressive for everything isn’t it? I don’t think I have ever been so hot as yesterday when I did some much needed watering!

    Jamaican Love is such a pretty clump. Evening Enchantment is a pretty purple-mine has finished blooming but was stunning this year. Fiesta Latina is very bright.

    Nice clumps! I see your Get Jiggy has a pattern. Ours often does not. I also like SC Francis Busby and Thundercat. I love the color of Evening Enchantment.

    Debra, Jamaican Love has grown like crazy, good branching. Haven't counted the buds, but there are plenty. I bought a soaker hose last fall, intending to try it out. I forgot to put it out, but you know my plants are close together and I would lose buds putting it down now.

    Brad, I have had Evening Enchanent for years, about the same time I got Bela Lugosi. I keep thinking I need to get rid on one. The flowers on EE are a little Ruffled and prettier, but Bela's flowers are larger. They both bloom really well, I can't seem to let go.

    Kate, is is really hot, I was watering this morning. I was as wet as the flowers by the time I got finished, and it was only 7:30. Fiesta Latina is not my favorite flower as a single flower, but you put it into a clump and wow! Can't stop looking at it.

    All very nice but Green Rainbow is my favorite. I grew Thundercat and I never did get a big clump all at once from it but more cascading of blooms, if I remember correctly. It has such a nice large blooms.

    So many nice clump shots, so many blooms. I like Evening Enchantment…..I couldn’t get rid of a purple here. I have Bela Lugosi too, it does really well, mine was bud king last season. Parrots of the Carribbean is really pretty, hope it gets taller for you.
